Like millions of other’s I was a major Michael Jackson fan. I had the privilege of seeing him on two occasions. It is redundant to say he was the greatest entertainer that ever performed. His death was a shock and a tragedy and it touched millions of people very deeply, yours truly included.
So now the feeding frenzy begins the speculation about Michael and his abuse of prescription drugs. We also have inevitable legal battles over his estate, and the final resting place of his body. Also in addition we have the daily drama over the guardianship of his children.
But what and who killed Michael Jackson will be debating for years and years to come. However in my humble opinion, I know who killed Michael. We killed Michael! Yes, we took his childhood, because of his gift. We took so much from him and when he tried to regain his childhood. We turned him into a sexual predator. Michael was an innocent. He was a real life Peter Pan.
In our cynical world, we have no room for true innocence. Love which something pure and God given has become equated to sex. In other words, it is abnormal for a grown man to love children. It is wrong or suspect for a man who never had a childhood to reach back and try to recapture a piece of that lost childhood.
You and I had a childhood, we played with friend went to the mall. We played in the park and went to school. But Michael had none of these. He truly believed in love, pure love. A Godly love for the least of these, just as Jesus did. No I am not comparing Michael to Jesus. I am just saying that he thought of children in the same way.
So after taking so much from him, we then took his innocence. We put him on trial and put him through an ordeal that caused him to withdraw and I believe this killed his spirit. He became aloof and tried to self medicate his pain.
Yes he could have taken a different path, but his world and his pure love for children had become a spectacle. It became material for the late night TV host. It broke him and I just hope that we as a people can learn something from this sad, sad situation.
We made Michael a star of global magnitude, and then we took away his view of the world. Yes, we you and I killed Michael Jackson.

Really? We "took" his childhood? He grew up famous making millions the rest of his life I would hardly say we "took" his childhood. He offered it freely and he loved doing what he did. It's not like it was a rough life. And yes grown men do not play with little children. It's inappropriate. Like it is inappropriate for a Married man to hang out with another woman alone.
